摘要：

The Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) was administered to 20 members of a university mountain climbing club and 21 control volunteers. Mountain climbers scored higher on the Total, Experience Seeking and Thrill and Adventure Seeking subscales of the SSS. Mountain climbers were involved in the sport for an average of 4 years, suggesting the use of this high risk sport as a way of meeting sensation seeking needs. Future research should examine the factors involved in the selection of socially acceptable sensation seeking activities as opposed to antisocial behavior. © 1991.
